On your backcourt scenario, no I wouldn't call self-pass, it's an NBA rule. I wouldn't call a travel either, because from your description, the ball had to hit the floor before the player regained it in the front court. So we have the start of a dribble, which is fine. No backcourt violation either because the player is front court when he retrieves the ball. But if he grabs the ball and then proceeds to dribble in the front court, I hope you have a double dribble!
